Craft Supplies:

  • Large Blank Canvas
  • Light Green Craft Paint
  • Dark Green Craft Paint
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Baby Wipes
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • Between each step – be sure to let the paint dry completely so colors don’t bleed together.
  • First grab your brown craft paint and paint the trunk of the palm tree on the canvas. This will give you a good eyeball on where to place your child’s painted footprints.
  • Next squirt the two shades of green paint on your paper plate.
  • Alternate between the light green and dark green paint to make the palm tree leaves {I did four leaves but you can do more/less} This is simply done by painting your child’s feet and pressing them on the canvas.
  • Remove excess paint from their feet with baby wipes and quick trip to the tub.
  • Once the paint is dry on the canvas, grab the brown paint again and paint two coconuts in the center of the palm tree.
  • Add other embellishments as you sit fit and display your footprint palm tree art piece proudly for all to see!

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible.
